Just when you thought that H20 was going to be the last of it's kind cause Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) beheaded her biological maniac brother Michael, the story explains that Michael (Brad Loree) knocked a paramedic unconcious and then put his clothes and mask on him to make her think it was him and then Laurie/Kate was locked away and never spoke a word since.
Michael tracks her down and kills her.

Then back in Haddonfield Illinois, an ambitious entrepreneur by the name of Freddy Harris (Busta Rhymes) wants to make some money on the Myers house by making a real internet film event called Dangertainment in which six local college students participate as part of the webcast.
They have to spend the night at the house as a scholarship is offered by Freddie whoever can survive the most in the house by not being scared away.

One of the people Freddie hired to scare the students is dressed as Michael Myers as a joke to scare them away but however the real Michael Myers returns to the house and kills people one by one and then one of the survivors named Sarah (Bianca Kajlich) asks one of the internet viewers to help her to escape from him by going online with one of them.

 

I enjoyed this one better than H20 as it had more happening in it and more excitement too.
I loved the fact that college students were staying at the Myers house for a reality internet show only to be stalked by Michael.
I'm glad Michael Myers isn't dead as I want to see more Halloween films and he will probably still be alive and killing when he's 100 years of age and still as powerful as ever.

Although the film is a bit better than H20 the acting isn't. Bianca Kaljich and Katee Sackhoff looked like that they were fresh out of modelling school just showing off their looks and not their acting ability.
Bianca does well the odd time but when she discovers Michael it is not at all believeable when she starts to freak out.
However rapper Busta Rhymes steals the show with his dynamic performance as the director of the reality internet show bringing his character to life.
We also get a one final appearance by Jamie Lee Curtis as Jamie Lloyd in the very beginning of the film showing her anger towards Michael. Unfortunately Michael kills her but Jamie wanted that so she can say goodbye to her fame in the horror films which was only a stepping stone to her career as a movie star.

A college students breasts are briefly revealed while she is making out with a guy in the Myers house.

More gore in this one.
A few decapitations with blood galore
A guy's neck is stabbed by a speare gun
A head is stabbed by what else???? A kitchen knife
A rat is revealed slaughtered
A metal object from a fence is stabbed through a young lady
A big puddle of blood is on the floor with a corpse that is hung (There are other corpses revealed throughout the film)
Most of all towards the end, Michael Myers is burnt to a crisp.

I liked Rick Rosenthal's direction in this one as he knows how to make the film look dark and gruesome during the inside filming of the Myers house.
I loved the scene where the house explodes as the camera really gives a good shot at it.
His direction with Jamie Lee Curtis in the very beginning was also well done as she believeably looked like a basket case and her death scene leaves an impression when she falls.
I loved the scene where the little kids playing trick or treaters placed a jack o lantern in front of the Myers house.
The house looked creepy which was a great touch for sure.
Another great scene is a dark passageway inside the house where Brad Loree who played Michael traps a couple people.
Also an he did well with actor
Ryan Merriman by playing the role of an internet fan named Decker during a suspenseful scene by helping a survivor get away from Michael by talking to her online which is interesting too as the actress Bianca Kajlich was coached well with her frightening reactions trying to get away and talking to him online which looked realisitic that time when her acting lacked in other scene's of the film.
I loved Busta Rhymes battle with Loree's character Michael as well as telling the news who Michael is and letting them know how he feels by hitting the news camera.

John Carpenter's theme is again used during the ending of this flick but it sounds more chilling.
Danny Lux
composes the music and does a fine job in it especially during Laurie Strode's death fall. He also had Kathie Talbot and Marco Beltrami add some music in it too.

Laurie Strode: I knew you'd come for me sooner or later. What took you so long?

Laurie Strode: You failed Michael. Want to know why? Because I'm not afraid of you. But, what about you? Are you afraid of me? Are you afraid to die Michael?

Laurie Strode: I'll see you in hell Michael.

Aron: Don't do it. That's the house where it all started. He walked it's hallways. Hide in it's closets. Dreamed in it's bedrooms. Helped his Mother in the kitchen. Watched TV in the living room with his Dad. Played in his Sisters bedroom. Then one day he picked up a knife and he never put it down again.

Rudy Grimes: Never underestimate the effect of a poor diet. Too much protein not enough zinc. Next thing you know your cutting up bodies in the bathtub. I mean look at Hitler he was a vegetarian. The brother was seriously malnourished.

Sara: I don't want to be famous.
Freddie Harris: What do you mean you don't want to be famous? That's the American dream!

Sara: Aren't we supposed to be looking for answers.
Jim Morgan: All right, the devil made him do it. I'm done.

Freddie Harris: Let the dangertainment begin!

Bill: You know I think it happened when she was right there. Poor little Judith, helpless, brushing her hair, young and naked.
Jenna Danzig: Yeah 'cause that's gonna happen right?
Bill: Come on, Jen. One flash and you could light up a thousand computer screens. Launch your whole career.

Donna Chang: Cameras are so...phallic.
Jim Morgan: Is that good or bad?
Donna Chang: Depends who's watching.

[After a wall full of skeletons collapses on Donna and Jim]
Donna Chang: All his victims, all his victims!
Jim Morgan: Shit...
Donna Chang: What?
Jim Morgan: [looking at an "arm"] Made in fuckin Taiwan.

Sara: Rudy, do you ever think about anything other than food?
Rudy Grimes: Wouldn't you like to know?

Freddie Harris: Fear is good. Fear is what gives us the feeling of being alive.
Sara: Fear makes me want to throw up.

Jenna Danzig: You are like this close to getting voted off the island.

Jim Morgan: [To Donna] Nice legs. What time do they open?
[Donna gives him the finger]
Jim Morgan: Is that one o'clock?

Freddie Harris: [to the REAL Michael Myers] I'm not payin you to be Michael Myers! I'm playin Michael Myers! And if them kids come around and see us dressed up in the same shit, it's going to ruin the whole effect! God damn it! What the hell is wrong with you?
[Michael remains still]
Freddie Harris: I said what are you looking at me like that for?
[tapping Michael's forehead]
Freddie Harris: Huh? You don't get it? You don't get it? Your shit up there ain't workin or something? Huh? You need to get you ass back in the garage with Nora! That's your job! Go back in there and help her ass out! Go do your job! I left the back door unlocked for your ass to go out the back and into the garage! That's what I did! You need to get the hell out of here!
[Michael's still motionless]
Freddie Harris: Go on! Skoot! Skadattle! Get the fuck out of Dodge!
[Michael finally walks away]
Freddie Harris: God damn it... what the hell does somebody gotta do to get a little decent help up in this mothafucka?

Freddie Harris: You hit me like I murdered your fucking Mother or something!

Jim Morgan: She must be going for the first Internet Emmy.

[About Myers' bed]
Jenna Danzig: This must be where the demon was conceived.

[Trying to lure Michael away from Sara]
Rudy Grimes: Hey, Michael. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you. You want a piece of me?

Rudy Grimes: You want some of this? Huh? You want to try and fucking kill me? Huh? You like sushi, motherfucka?

Rudy Grimes: Don't distract me.
Jenna Danzig: Oh, I can't help myself. I am distracting.

Sara: Look, every time I let you two talk me into something I live to regret it.
Rudy Grimes: Listen, without me you would die of boredom.
Jenna Danzig: Us! Without us you would die of boredom.
Rudy Grimes: Whatever.

Freddie Harris: [Fighting Michael] Let's see what you got!

Freddie Harris: Trick or treat, motherfucker!

Freddie Harris: Hey Mikey! Happy Fuckin' Halloween!

Freddie Harris: Michael Myers is a killer shark. In baggy ass overalls who gets his kicks from killing everyone and everything he comes across.
